Abstract

Oil spills have the potential to cause serious harm to the marine environment in which they occur. They are capable of causing widespread economic and environmental damage. An examination into the dangers of oil slicks in a region and the techniques that can be taken to maintain a strategic distance from, or on the off chance that they happen, battle the spill would be important in limiting the degree to which oil can obliterate a biological system. The GNOME might be tedious and defenseless to client input errors which are burdens for crisis response. Oil slick reaction systems must be quick, solid and exact. Guaranteeing the accessibility of such forecast requires skill in model input sources and yields, data formats for multiple models and the GNOME interface. This study builds up a robotized way to deal with coupling after effects of the hydrodynamic model MIKE21 to GNOME. This is a numerical report that quantitatively and subjectively characterizes the development of oil spill amid spill. The 2010 Mumbai oil spill is taken for this investigation. Oil spill trajectories are anticipated by contributing wind and water ebb and flow constrains on an underlying spill in a committed spill trajectory model (say GNOME model). The wave currents are obtained by simulation of flow model in MIKE21 and the wind data from ASCAT. Both the wave currents and wind are converted into the GNOME file format using MATLAB and these outcomes should then be coupled with GNOME. At long last, mapping of the influenced locale is finished utilizing ArcGIS. The validation of the model shows that if the contributions to the model were given with high accuracy, at that point the yield will likewise be acquired with high precision.
